The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has said in a new interview with 4Gamer that Nintendo wanted to be the first to release a brand new Zelda game on the Nintendo Switch 2, though obviously they were beaten to the punch by Koei Tecmo. Aonuma also hinted that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment has influenced the next The Legend of Zelda mainline game in some way. He concluded by asking the fans to look forward to the next The Legend of Zelda adventure.
“The Legend of Zelda: Age of Imprisonment is the first Zelda title released for the Nintendo Switch 2. If I’m honest, we wanted to be the first to do so,” he said, laughing.
“The inspiration we received from our collaboration with Koei Tecmo may be reflected in the Zelda we create. Please imagine this while playing Age of Imprisonment, and look forward to our Zelda.”
